Bringing Informed Consent to the 21st Century – The Impact of an Online Resource and Consent Process on Fertility Patient Perceptions

Abstract

vs 20.9AE12.9 weeks for the BPL group, p¼0.23). The multivariate logistic regression models correcting for relevant confounders refuted the unadjusted analyses and showed study groups to have similar success rates (respectively, OR 1.41, CI 0.97-2.05, p¼0.07 for the LBR after the subsequent ET and OR 1.27, CI 0.90-1.80, p¼0.18 for the LBR after one year).CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a BPL versus a negative pregnancy test following the first fresh ET have comparable subsequent reproductive outcomes. When experiencing a BPL after a first fresh ET, patients can be reassured that they do not seem to have an increased risk of encountering another early pregnancy failure when compared to patients having a negative hCG test and that they have similar chances of reaching a successful pregnancy following the subsequent ET, but also at the timepoint of one year and this within a comparable time window.
